Regardless of the merit of NAT, there is little merit in IPv6+NAT as it has all the downsides of both. If you can live with NAT, stay in IPv4 and talk to the IPv6 world over IPv4<->IPv6 NAT.
Or upgrade to NAP (Network Architecture Protection) *grin*
"No, in IPv6 it is done differently, it is then called NAP, which is waaay cooler and saves you a lot of money and troubles".
Newsflash. NAT is not going to die. It is supply and demand. There is a demand for NAT and it will stay here until every single publication that enterprise CFO reads keeps saying for 5 years that NAT is useless. So, is there any chance that the super-smart network community pulls its collective head out of the sand? Alex
